Spring cleaning the world – literally

March 21, 2014 by Emma Gadsby 9 Comments

We have a world map shower curtain in our bathroom which occasionally needs cleaning. As it was a lovely sunny windy day we took it outside to spring clean the world – literally!

Using chairs to hold down the shower curtain and a variety of cleaning utensils Adam and I set to work. Adam obviously hasn’t seen me use a brush many times and needs a little work on his technique!

He had great fun playing in the water and changing scrubbing brushes.

Adam obviously felt that Antarctica was in need of a lot of water.

Spring cleaning the world was a lot of fun. I pegged the shower curtain up to dry.

In true Adam form he couldn’t resist running through the shower curtain – but didn’t bank on it being wet!

He couldn’t work out how his hair was suddenly wet!

      I hadn’t expected Adam to enjoy it as much and a clean shower curtain was an added bonus!

    Ha ha, love it! It’s so funny when they soak themselves but can’t work out how it happened. Lol.
    Looks like he had a great time though.
    Thanks for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party 🙂
